Hello! I am reaching out for help as I am not entirely sure what the correct timeline is as someone told me something differently yesterday. My fiancé arrives today from england (Y A Y!) and I am fully aware that from today we have 90 days to get married. Now, I know we have to file for a SSN #, EAD (optional), AOS. Someone mentioned to me on a Facebook group that its best to file for a SSN # & he EAD before the marriage? Is that even possible?

Can someone give me a clear timeline in order. I am so confused. Many many thanks

Nicole

The general advice is to file for SSN basically as soon as possible after entering since verification can take long if you are unlucky and it's jut easier to do some things having the SSN. As soon as you are then married you file for AOS EAD/AP (as you say optional) together. The fees for EAD/AP are waived when filing for AOS (i-485).

Also welcome over to the AOS forums for future questions :)

Read this guide for SSN application

http://www.visajourney.com/content/ssn

One can file for EAD before marriage as a K1 entrant, however it expires when the I-94 expires, which is 90 days after arrival in the country. Incidentally, once you apply, it takes about 90 days for it to be approved and processed. So, it's pointless, and cost you $410 filing fee.

It's free when you file EAD together with AOS.

Done with K1, AOS and ROC

also theoretically she can apply for EAD using her K1 status but it would expire with the i-94 which is valid for 90 days and current EAD processing times are around 90 days... so it wouldn't do much (if any) good.

edit: lol too slow huh :P

Yes it is possible and he should apply for his social security number, My then fiance applied for a SS# about 2 weeks after arriving in USA. We weren't married until 2 months later.

Here is what VJ says about EAD prior to marriage and AOS:

Immediately, before filing for AOS. As a K-1 visa holder you are technically eligible to file for an EAD immediately when you arrive. However, this EAD will expire when you K-1 expires (90 days) and because of this and the wait time (>90 days) it is a waste of both time and money to bother applying.

http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3ead

We waited to file for EAD and AP along with his AOS. The fee is waived that way.

Please file for AP even if you think it wouldn't be necessary. That fee is also waived and many regret not filing. You never know what may come up.
